This App Has Everything!
This app is the best for any screen time management. I was finding no apps that were in my price range that had features I needed. This app has triggers that activate when an app is used for a certain amount of time, and triggers for a schedule, but the best part is Shortcuts integration. This allows you to turn on and off blocking for the apps you want basically however you wanted to, like by location or through any Shortcut. I am more than happy to support this app, and I will recommend it to anyone who wants to have some type of customized screen time solution. Especially with the price being the cheapest, it’s just the best option. It isn’t the prettiest, but it gets the job done.
There was one thing I wanted to ask the developers for, when I said it wasn’t the prettiest. The design of the screen that pops up when you open a restricted app doesn’t look great. There’s a lot of text that just doesn’t seem to have a purpose, and the logo being front and center bugs me. The app still works, and I’d take this app over any other app for screen time management, but please make it look nicer. Maybe remove the logo, or just say it’s blocked without so much additional text.t.j.271

Thank you! 😃 I'm glad it's being able to help you!Such a great app, thank you!
I tried several apps for app blocking, before coming across Burnout Buddy. Honestly I was oddly, initially deterred from trying the app because of the hokey app icon, but was pleasantly surprised by what it had to offer when I finally gave it a shot. In terms of the free portion of this app it offers way more functionality than others that also have a free option. I am not sure that I really needed the premium version, but purchased it as I believe the developer created a truly helpful app that could possibly make a very positive impact for many. Not only that, the one time fee for the Premium version was so reasonable, I purchased it, really as a thank you for making such a great app available for anyone…and the Premium version even lets me change the app icon😊. Thanks again Burnout Buddy!HD650db

Thank you for such a detailed review! I'm really happy you enjoyed and supported it! Hahaha and thanks for letting me know about the icon, I'll keep that in mind next time I update the app's design :)Simple and Perfect
As a SAHM, I found myself checking my phone for social media much more than I liked. I felt distracted from my son, and I didn’t want to set a bad example by being on the phone always. Now I’m much more present, and I’ve even started reading more because I take books with me to fill the void of scrolling. Now I’m a better mom and I’m setting a good reading example for my son. I also feel better at the end of the day.
This app works so perfectly by allowing you to choose the apps you want to block and the time frame in which you want them blocked. You can also choose to create a time limit for apps if you don’t want to completely limit your access. It’s exactly what I needed. Simple and perfect.Eb Paige
